Night, Staying up all night


[Verse 2:]

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet

We were both 18 And it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all
D D Em Em C C D D Em Em C C
Night, Staying up all night


[Chorus 1:]
D D Em Em C C
If I could find you now Things would get better

We would leave this town And run forever
D D Em Em C C
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah

Theres a piece of you that's here with me

I can make believe that you're here
D D Em Em C C D D Em Em C C
tonight, That you're here tonight


[Chorus 2:]

If I could find you now Things would get better

I remember that look in your eyes

When I told you this was good bye

You were begging me not tonight

Not here Not now

When looking up at the same night sky
Em Em
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
D D
We'll be together for one more night
C C
Somewhere somehow


[Chorus 2:]
D D Em Em C C
If I could find you now Things would get better
D D Em Em C C
We would leave this town And run forever

I know somewhere, somehow We'll be together

Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah
